Lights and Vision
— Awarning tone will sound if you open the
door when the exterior lights are switched
on.
— Only the front headlights turn on when the
daytime running lights are switched on*. In
vehicles in certain markets, the tail lights
will also turn on.
— In cool or damp weather, the inside of the
headlights, turn signals, and tail lights can
fog
over due to the temperature difference
between the inside and outside. They will
clear shortly after switching them on. This
does not affect the service life of the light-
ing.
— When the parking lights are switched on
and the ignition is switched off, the 2002) sym-
bol appears in the light switch module.

Laser li ng
Applies to: vehicles with laser lighting
[RAZ-0102
Fig. 36 Headlights: label
The laser high beams increase the range of the
headlights.
Technical changes to the headlights have signifi-
cantly increased the range. An additional module
integrated in the headlight converts a blue laser
light into a white light using a luminescent mate-
rial.
Switching laser lights on and off
The high beam is controlled by the high beam as-
sistant. The laser high beams switch on shortly
after activating the LED high beams if the re-
quirements that follow are met.
Requirement: the AUTO light function must be
set, and the high beam assistant and the laser
lights must be switched on in the MMI
=> page 48.
> To switch on the high beam assistant, tap the
